Through close readings of a wide range of texts by such writers as Doctorow, Wolfe, Morrison, Hustvedt, McInerney, and Safran Foer, this book explores the relationship between New York City and its literature. The Contemporary New York Novel is the first study to explore the New York novelist''s struggle to capture the complexity, diversity and history of the city. The book examine''s how writers have dealt with the city''s history of immigration, the mosaic of ethnic neighbourhoods and their continuous transformations, and the flows of international capital through Wall Street as well as the responses of the city to the trauma of 9/11. With so many of these novels having writers at the centre of their narratives, Mark Brown argues that the contemporary New York novel is concerned less with representing the lives of ordinary New Yorkers or their city inhabit than with the narcissistic cycle of self-referentiality which consistently returns the novelist to an exploration of the artist''s relationship with the process of writing about the city.
